ERCOMBERT.
ERCOMBERT, notwithstanding his elder Brother's Sons were living, took * 1.1 possession of the Kingdom. What he wanted in Right, he made out in good Government, being reported a most Religious and Christian King. The Saxon Idols yet standing he utterly demolisht, and commanded the Fast of Lent to be universally observed; but he is noted by some, for not restoring at his death the Kingdom to his Nephew, whose undoubted Right it was; But leaving two Sons behind, Egbert and Lothair, whom he had by Sexburg, the daughter of Anna King of the East-Saxons, it fell to them successively. He reigned twenty four years.
